I Need More Than a Fix

Sat, 2006-12-30 02:39

I just now happened upon an amusing little site at Fix My Site and while I normally don't hand a large measure of meritoriousness to cookie cutter Blogger incarnations, I am still flexible enough to recognise a true artist who is willing to give up control, respect, and a usable comment system in order to have Big G handle the security updates.

I really considered submitting this website for a free critique, but I realized in the nick of time that the complete lack of redeeming qualities present here coupled with the knowledge that computers when I was in high school were the size of small airplane hangers might just leave this poor fellow speechless, and that would be wrong. Turning out high quality blog evaluations at the rate of almost two a month is an important service to the community and should not be hindered by trivial distractions.

The thing I would like to ask Jason Edelman if his comment form did work is this: Do you accept third party submissions?

I might.

Thank you for mentioning my old (and possibly defunct?) blog started as a way to keep myself busy while horrifically bored at an old job. Yes, I was pumping out reviews at a very inconsistent rate towards the blog's demise, but for a while there I was getting about three to four a week with a waiting list 20 deep. Every once in a while I get a request to do a review. The problem was that I was too thorough and too clever, and lord knows there's no room for thoroughness and cleverness on the internet.

So, instead, I started a new, exceptionally geeky, highly-technical blog completely devoid of humor and cleverness that I can maintain quite easily (http://dotnetdiscussion.net, if you're interested), and it's no longer under the tyrant's aka the Big G's iron fist of rule. I know that's quite an intro, so I suppose I'll keep the rest of this comment short, since you're clearly dying to go see it now.

Anyways, thanks again for the link, and I apologize for not keeping it up. I really did enjoy it, it's just that at 2-3 hours per review, it took up way too much of my damn time.

Look everybody it's Jason!

Thanks for stopping by. Everybody else, it's time to head on over and check out some in depth hints on ASP.NET. Nice, geeky stuff. Smiling
